    Dec tag!

    I have a Dec tag in 22. Will get started Saturday. I managed to get all 3 weeks off work! Good luck.

    Backpack- advice?

    Kuiu 3200 or Outdoorsman. A cheaper option I've used is the Kelty Cache Hauler frame with a large fanny pack attached. When you get to where you hunt, drop the frame until you need it. You don't need Cabelas or Sportsmans. You can find these packs online cheaper used or new, usually without tax.

    Battery Powered 2 way radios.

    I have an older pair of Midlands. I really like them. You can turn off all of the beeps and noises. Also have the call/vibrate, which is critical for silent communication. You can remove the recharge battery pack and use AA's. Not sure if the newer Midlands are similar, as far as turning off all the beeps. I have some limited experience with the Motorola radios. Couldn't turn off all the beeps...no call/vibrate...and had trouble communicating with Midland radios.

    Extra carpet piece?

    I use a couple old throw rugs, one at the door and one between the cots. A lot easier to haul than a big roll of carpet.

    Great story! It made me stop and think of my Grandpa and the future I will have with my grandkids. Great hunt with great results! Thanks

    Kuiu Sale!

    I have the Attack pants. Very comfortable. Feel like wearing pajamas, yet pretty tough. I am noticing some thread pulls in the lower legs, but not bad. The Attacks have the hip vents, which work well. I wear a 34 - 35 waist in jeans and the 34 fits perfect. I have the Peloton 240 fleece, the Kenai jacket, and Superdown jacket, all in large, which fits perfect...l am 6' 170lbs, kind of skinny 39" chest. The Peloton has several thread pulls in the sleeves. Kinda have to be carefull with the jackets.
  11. I bumped into a momma bear and cub in a raspberry patch up on the Rim. The cub ran away from me at about 20'. Couldn't tell what it was right away, as it ran through the thick bushes. Then momma stood up about 40 yards up the hill, looking at me. I stepped out in the open, raised my arms and yelled "Hey momma bear". She dropped and ran up the hill another 10 yards....stood up and stared at me again. I did the same thing, this time waving my hat in the air. She dropped and ran up over the hilltop. Then I heard my wife yell, "There's a bear up here". I yelled back, "hang on to the dog". I didn't realize my wife and dog had worked their way around the hill and up top. Thankfully, I didn't get between momma and cub, and the cub ran to safety. I've ran into bears a few other times, and they ran away. I suppose under the wrong circumstances, it could turn bad quickly. I usually carry a sidearm. I believe research states that bear spray is more effective than trying to hit a charging target with a sidearm.
